“Allowing the fidget spinner to float reduces the bearing friction by permitting the rate of the central ring and outer spinner to equalize, and the whole thing spins as a unit,” Bresnik wrote in the video caption.

Fellow NASA astronauts Mark T. Vande Hei and Joseph M. Acaba as well as European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli also make cameos in the clip.
